I read the subject line and thought IGN was charging for avatars on its site.
Microtransactions are always interesting.

49 cents to Sack-ify my avatar?
Yeah, it's disappointing that they never gave us a LBP avatar for free (or anything free for the past year), but sign me up!

i could have sworn you could....


Instead of complaining for having to pay for a custom avatar that you don't NEED, why don't just be grateful for the free service that is the PSN already?

Sure it cost some money, i wasn't being that literal, but you do realize an 'avatar' is a tiny little square picture - that is what you're paying for in terms of production cost. Sony's mostly charging us for the right to have a unique avatar displayed - and not letting us use our own (this is why its bad). I'm mostly mad that they've kept the same old ones for so long, now that they're finally adding new ones - they decided they'll charge us for them. It's that whole philosophy, nickle and dime people by exploiting the locked-down structure of PS3, much like how a cell-phone carrier charges you for ring-tones, by not letting you make your own. |
Kinda agree with this. While I understand why they don't allow custom avatars (cause then they'd have to deal with the guys who upload their dicks and other inappropriate stuff), but the least they could do is keep it free and just very slowly add new avatars based on the games released that week.
If they want to sell this kind of stuff then do it for the PS.HOME avatar. Id like to see sackboy there.
I wish they just let us unlock gamer pictures from whichever games we play...or trophy that's unlocked...yes it's the Xbox 360 way of donig things, but it works, it's free, and it's easy as hell for a developer to throw in an extra clipart from the game for the fans to have as an avatar...BRING IT SONY...jeez.

How many millions are they going to make off of that? It seemed to work for Home clothing so i'm not surprised they are trying it again.
